Raspberry Pi Gains Touchscreen Support

June 26, 2018
4D Systems' family of displays offer resistive and capacitive touch.

The gen4-4DPI series of LCD display modules were specifically designed to support the Raspberry Pi family of single-board computers. The display modules are available for the Raspberry Pi A+, B+, 3, Zero, and Zero W with resistive or capacitive touch control options and provide a compact and elegant HMI display solution. The displays are also powered directly by the Raspberry Pi, eliminating the need for an external power supply.

 

The gen4-4Dpi display modules are available in three screen sizes: 4.3, 5, and 7 in. and connect to the Raspberry Pi through a 30-pin FPC cable and an adapter board that conforms to the Raspberry Pi expansion header pin-out and Pi’s HAT device identification standard.

  • Primary Display for the Raspberry Pi
  • Available in 4.3, 5.0 and 7.0 in.
  • Resistive Touch and Capacitive Touch
  • Universal Primary Display for the Raspberry Pi.
  • Compatible with Raspberry Pi A+, B+, Pi2, Pi3, P3 B+, Pi Zero and Pi Zero W.
  • 480 x 272 Resolution (4.3 in.)
  • 800 x 480 Resolution (5 & 7 in.)
  • TFT Screen with integrated 4-wire Resistive Touch Panel (T), or Capacitive Touch Panel (CT) with Cover Lens Bezel (CLB).
  • Display GUI output / primary output, just like a monitor connected to the Raspberry Pi
  • High-speed 48MHz SPI connection to the Raspberry Pi, featuring SPI compression technology.
  • Typical frame rate of 20 Frames per second (FPS) – 4.3 in., or 7 Frames per second (5 & 7 in.), higher if the image can be compressed further by the kernel. Lower if no compression is possible.
  • Powered directly off the Raspberry Pi, no external power supply is required.
  • On board EEPROM for board identification, following the HAT standard.
  • 4 x 4 mm Mounting holes on Resistive Touch module, or via adhesive on the bezel for Capacitive Touch model.
  • RoHS and CE Compliant.
